Does coaching work?

I know it does as coaching completely changed my life but sometimes I wondered if the coaching I do really works. Then on a day like today I receive a beautiful testimonial from a client today who I coached for 6 months last year and my heart feels lifted. It brightened up my day, as sometimes I can forget how simple coaching can be but how effective it is too. This is what Josie said...............................

"I came to a cross roads in my life. Working 12 hours a day in a demanding sales role with little personal gain and mounting stress. I asked myself "what is this all about, what am I doing?"

Now looking back I realise how unhappy I actually was and how stressed and irritable I had become.

Things got so bad that I quit my job and decided to take some time out. I searched on the internet to find someone that could help and came across Susan's company. It seemed real to me and personable, something I could relate to. Within a week I had met with Susan and decided to embark on 6 months of coaching.

Each week we explored different ideas and areas of interest to try and find my passion. Susan's approach was so easy, just like chatting with a friend.

We set goals every week and Susan gave me the confidence not only to enjoy taking time off but also to allow myself to explore areas I would never otherwise have considered.

I have never been happier. I am doing a degree in nutritional therapy, attending college 2 days per week and working part time.

I achieved my goal 5 weeks ahead of time

"The concept of ‘set a goal and work towards it’ was a new and frightening experience for me. I had always taken what I had been given in life and consequently was stuck in a 2 year rut at work, de-motivated and with no idea how to change things.

Susan encouraged me to set an ultimate goal for myself of changing jobs to work for an established company which valued its employees, earning a specified amount of money. Through our weekly telephone coaching sessions I learned how to set weekly goals in accordance with my ultimate goal. There have been times of struggle and times of fear but my weekly goals enabled me to stay focused and motivated. The outcome of our work is that I actually achieved my goal 5 weeks ahead of time and not only that, my work with Susan has enabled me to become really aware of where my career is heading and where I can take it."

Unique, friendly approach

"I have had the privilege of being coached by Susan Lynch of The Coaching Life Company over the past 6 months.  The results of this journey are incredible.

I was a typical victim of the lunacy of modern day living, living my life at full speed and believing I was investing in the important issues in my life. However, there was a nagging emptiness in my life that sent a constant reminder to me that something wasn't quite right. Susan has helped me establish clarity, priority and integrity in my life based on my own criteria, as opposed to those placed upon me by others. She has a unique, friendly approach that makes her welcome in your life, and yet she still manages to challenge you to ensure you move forward to living the life you want to.

I strongly recommend Susan to anyone looking to improve the quality of their life."
